We're looking for a new director
We are looking for an exceptional individual to lead the BID team to achieve its vision of a UK free of immigration detention.
Closing date: 30 September 2024, 5pm
Our current Director, Annie Campbell, will be moving on towards the end of the year.
Annie has led BID through an increasingly hostile policy environment alongside significant upheaval in ways of working through the Covid-19 pandemic, and we are incredibly grateful to her for her committed and successful leadership of BID through her four years as Director.
We are now opening recruitment for the role of Director. This is an incredible opportunity to lead a highly-respected, visionary, organisation with a peerless track record of achieving change in detention policy and practice. We are looking for an exceptional individual with strong strategic leadership and people management skills, and an unwavering commitment to human rights, above all the rights of people in detention.
Our new Director will be leading the organisation in a period of both challenges and opportunity, as the new Government settles in and debates about immigration policy continue. Despite the uncertain times, we are committed to continuing to challenge immigration detention in the UK. The new Director will inherit a well-resourced, effective and well-regarded organisation with an impressive, dedicated and friendly staff team. While the role will be multi-faceted, it will be hugely rewarding, supported by a committed board of trustees.
BID is a small organisation - our new Director will own the overall operation, management and sustainability of the charity, with the support of committed trustees. The Director will lead on strategic leadership, finance and operations, people and culture, fundraising, policy and communications, legal casework and governance and regulation - all with the support of our brilliant team of 10 staff, and the opportunity to recruit. As with any small charity, the post-holder will need to be agile and responsive.
